Summary of Peter Cappelli's Will College Pay Off?

Please note:This audiobook has been generated using AI Voice. This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 The American college system is extremely expensive, and while it is still considered necessary for advancement, it has become far more risky in terms of the likely career payoffs.

#2 Despite the media’s obsession with the supposed skills shortage, employers actually seem relatively uninterested in academic skills. They want the skills that come from experience on the job.

#3 The decision to go to college is one of the biggest financial decisions a family will make. For most families, the question is not whether to go to college versus not go to college, but which college to attend, and for that decision, the potential payoff from the degree matters even more.

#4 The prevailing wisdom that students should be pursuing practical, job-oriented majors like animation, property management, and invasive cardiovascular technology may well be the wrong advice. These narrow, vocational degrees may not lead to career progression later on.
